From my experience of travelling, which is not that extensive, the best places to visit are those that are not on the radar. Touristic destinations, such as the Algarve in Portugal, are hampered by shops and restaurants to suit what the tourists commonly want: 'I love Portugal' teeshirts, postcards, English/Germany restaurants etc. They do not offer a real insight into the actual country and its culture, but that's ok if you all are after is a week of relaxation.
If, however, you want to experience something completely new then you have to look beyond the radar. It may require you to go out of your comfort zone, but like always, the more you work for it, the more rewarding. So, where would your destination be?
Mine would be Iceland - a little undiscovered beauty. With the northern lights providing you with an out-of-this-world sensation, which are then bathed by jumping in the Blue Lagoon. Its alternative paradise, one that I am definitely up for!

Those are fabulous destinations. The Northern Lights would be an incredible sight (one of which is on my list of places).
ReplyDeleteFor me I'd love to go to Greece, Portugal, Alaska, and visit France, Italy, and Germany again.
